Owens usually handles the listings for music shows, clubs, bars, shopping, spas, and 'other random events,' while information on restaurants, theater, art galleries, and museums comes from Cavanaugh Anthony. 'We do all the research you would do,' says Owens. 'We find the best of everything and put it all in one cute package.'

Miss Information has profiled destinations ranging from Los Angeles to Jaipur, India, for clients who include fashion-shoot teams, wedding parties, and individuals. The price of a guidebook differs with each project and is based on the amount of time spent doing research and the number of books ordered. Owens and Cavanaugh Anthony keep detailed files on popular destinations and can put together a guidebook in a matter of days.

Though production time can be hectic, the two genuinely enjoy what they're doing. 'We love to travel,' says Cavanaugh Anthony. 'The education we get about a new city is a huge reward.'
